intimate and potential as your

your mineral resources have to It's
material prosperity. 1 SIN informed
that three-fourths of the population OF
your state are engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and l am glad that my visit TO
Montgomery occurs at time when your

ANOTHER CROWD.
MONTGOMERY, ALA Oct. 20-It was
due to the remarkable self-control and
good order preserved by the audience,
perhaps $4,000, at the fair grounds that
both speeches were audible to the very
outskirts OF the throng. The Presidents
appearance to respond was the signal for
a wild outburst Of cheers, and he was
frequently interrupted by applause and
occasionally by fervent interjection,
"GOd bless you" From the speaking
stand the party WAS escorted in carriages
about the fair grounds, this being, for the
limited time ct the committees disposal,
more acceptable method of giving the
people an opportunity to see the Presi-
dent than by the ordinary way of passing
the multitude before him. The special
train was brought to the fair grounds and
the party boarded it and started for home
at O'Clock.
